Danielle Schneider
Staff Veterinarian DVM, MPH
Dr. Danielle Schneider grew up in Island Lake, Illinois. She spent her summers during high school working as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician at VCA Noyes under Dr. Zimmerman. She then attended Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in biology (Pre-vet) and a minor in public health in 2016. While in college, she raised and trained service dogs which sparked her passion for working dogs. She graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine at Champaign/Urbana in 2020. While in veterinary school, Dr. Schneider took an interest in all animal species, but her favorite opportunity was working with a team to teach EMS and K-9 handlers to administer first aid to police K-9s injured in the line of duty. She assisted on a study to evaluate that training program and helped create a model for other veterinarians to use to train EMS and law enforcement officers. Dr. Schneider joined the VCA Noyes team in June 2020. In May of 2021, Dr. Schneider graduated from the University of Illinois Chicago earning a Master's of Public Health.

When Dr. Schneider is not at work, she enjoys reading and getting outdoors for camping, hiking, fishing, and SCUBA diving. She currently has two dogs that she loves to spend time with named Remy (lab mix) and Max (yorkie). While she doesn't currently have any exotic pets, she has owned rabbits, birds (conure, parakeet), rodents (gerbil, hamster), fish, and reptiles (chameleon, gecko).
